Senators took down one Trump Cabinet pick. But the fight over their authority is just beginning

WASHINGTON (AP) — It’s a short phrase in the Constitution, mentioned in passing. But it’s already taking on an outsize significance as President-elect Donald Trump charts his return to office. The withdrawal of Matt Gaetz as Trump’s nominee for attorney general dramatically affirmed that the Senate still maintains its “advice and consent” powers when it comes to vetting and installing a president’s Cabinet. Yet it may be only a brief reprieve from the intense struggles to come as Senate Republicans try to preserve their constitutional […]

Bernice King explains why she’s ‘glad’ Trump’s inauguration is on Martin Luther King Day

When Donald Trump is sworn in as the 47th president of the United States at his inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025, it will coincidentally fall on the federal holiday that honors Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  Supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump’s Democratic opponent in the 2024 presidential election, had hoped that the day would instead mark a historic moment in Black history that would’ve seen Harris sworn in as the first Black female president and only the second […]

After a devastating and decisive loss to Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris is keeping her “options open” about her political future once she leaves office next year.  Harris has told her advisors and close allies, “I am staying in the fight,” Politico reports. What that fight looks like, however, remains up in the air.  According to Harris’ inner circle, the vice president is considering running for governor of California when Gov. Gavin Newsom’s term-limited […]

After Trump’s win, Black women are rethinking their role as America’s reliable political organizers

ATLANTA (AP) — As she checked into a recent flight to Mexico for vacation, Teja Smith chuckled at the idea of joining another Women’s March on Washington. As a Black woman, she just couldn’t see herself helping to replicate the largest act of resistance against then-President Donald Trump’s first term in January 2017. Even in an election this year where Trump questioned his opponent’s race, held rallies featuring racist insults and falsely claimed Black migrants in Ohio were eating residents’ pets, he didn’t just win a second […]

Washington power has shifted. Here’s how the ACA may shift, too

Trump has teased retooling the ACA; other Republican lawmakers have said revamping the legislation known as Obamacare would be a priority. President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House could embolden Republicans who want to weaken or repeal the Affordable Care Act, but implementing such sweeping changes would still require overcoming procedural and political hurdles. Trump, long an ACA opponent, expressed interest during the campaign in retooling the health law. In addition, some high-ranking Republican lawmakers — who will now […]

Several of Trump’s Cabinet picks — and Trump himself — have been accused of sexual misconduct

While Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from the nomination process for attorney general, President-elect Donald Trump has picked several other people for his Cabinet and key staff positions who have been accused of some form of sexual misconduct. Trump himself has long been accused of abusing or mistreating women and once was caught bragging about grabbing women by the genitals. He was found liable by a New York City jury for sexual abuse and defamation and eventually ordered to pay the woman, E. Jean Carroll, $83 million in damages. Taken together, there are a […]

Many in Gaza are eating just once a day, as hunger spreads amid aid issues

Yasmin Eid coughs and covers her face, cooking a small pot of lentils over a fire fed with twigs and scrap paper in the tent she shares with her husband and four young daughters in the Gaza Strip. It was their only meal Wednesday — it was all they could afford. “My girls suck on their thumbs because of how hungry they are, and I pat their backs until they sleep,” she said. After being displaced five times, the Eids reside […]

Here’s what Byron Donalds said about Trump not appointing any Black Republicans to his team

Despite heavily campaigning for Donald Trump during the 2024 election cycle, U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., has not yet been named to the president-elect’s upcoming administration — this to the curiosity of many. In fact, no Black Republican has been tapped among the more than two dozen nominations and appointments Trump has made over the past week. During an appearance on CNN with Laura Coates, Congressman Donalds said he was “not surprised” about not being selected for a role in […]

Editor’s note: The following article is an op-ed, and the views expressed are the author’s own. Read more opinions on theGrio.   We need to talk about roaches. According to noted entomologist Karlous Miller and John Whitfield Jr. (famous for his groundbreaking research on the Young Fly), everybody has them. While mosquitoes may have killed more humans throughout history than all of the wars, open borders and Black Lives Matter protests combined, humans are biologically programmed to hate cockroaches more than […]
